 Charlotte Adams, independent choreographer and artistic director for Charlotte Adams and Dancers, established the company in 2001. The group of six to eight dancers works on a project-to-project basis performing Adams' work exclusively. Adams pursues topics and collaborative methods with a variety of artists, investigating the human condition with its messiness, humor, and heartbreak.  Composer Jason Palamara, poet and author Christopher Merrill, the Tucson SWAT team, costume and set designer Margaret Wenk-Kuchlbauer, choreographer Jennifer Kayle, lighting designer Laurel Shoemaker, and filmmaker Keith Collea are a few of her cherished collaborative partners. The company was first produced at New York's Joyce SoHo in 2001 and again in 2003 and 2006. Performing projects include an invitation by the city of Tucson for their outdoor performance series at the The DeMeester Theater, a shared concert of work at Creighton University with the Omaha Modern Dance collective, the Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre in North Carolina, the White Wave DUMBO Dance Festival and Triskelion CollabFest in NY among others. Notable projects include a collaboration with colleague Jennifer Kayle entitled Virtually Yours, presented by the prestigious El Museo Centro Leon in Santiago, Dominican Republic and Highways Performance Space in Los Angeles, an invitation to perform at The University of Puerto Rico, San Juan, PR with the Dance Knots Project, a return to Highways in LA for the production of GUSH, and the Breaking Ground Festival in Phoenix.

​Highways Performance Space
LOS ANGELES, CA – Highways Performance Space presents GUSH, 5 new contemporary dance works by independent choreographers Charlotte Adams and Jennifer Kayle on Friday, May 29, 2015 and Saturday, May 30, 2015. Kayle probes the realm of mortal passion, and the new era of human impact on the earth. Adams uncovers the body’s anatomy and its undoing, and the ludicrous toiling for success. Five works immerse viewers in the distinctly visceral performance of eleven dancers and two musicians. The pieces include original music by composer Jason Palamara, and original video by Alex Bush and Tori Lawrence. The two-hour event starts at 8:30pm at Highways Performance Space (18th Street Arts Center, 1651 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404). General admission tickets are $20 in advance ($15 for students, Highways members, and seniors) and can be purchased in online at www.highwaysperformancespace.org. Reservations may also be made by calling 310-315-1459. Additional information is available on the Highways Performance Space website.
